Tetris for Famicom and Manx TT


Picked up a CIB Famicom Tetris and Manx TT Superbike for the Saturn at Book Off about a week ago. Manx TT is really fast and has a fun arcade mode. 


I can’t wait to try the VS option! 

Not as much fun as the arcade version, but for 105 yen, I’m satisfied. The Saturn had some pretty solid racing games on it.


I watched parts 1 and 2 of the amazing Discovery Channel documentary Rise of the Video Game last night on Youtube. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ras4E4N1S5E

The documentary has a segment on Tetris and an interview with Alexey Pajitnov. Apparently he moved to the U.S. in the early 90s and just chills reading books and working on puzzle games with his friends. Sounds pretty nice!
